Lt. D. Heath Meyer was putting out stop sticks on Interstate 35 near 27th Street when he and other troopers were trying to stop a speeding D’Angelo Burgess, 27. Authorities said a state trooper accidentally hit Meyer after Burgess caused a collision between two other state troopers’ vehicles.

Friday night, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper, who was assisting in a pursuit on I-35, was struck by the pursued vehicle as he was putting out stop sticks. The trooper, Lt. Heath Meyer, is currently in critical condition.

McClelland said gunshots were fired during the chase. He said the suspect climbed out of the U-Haul vehicle and carjacked the driver of a mini-van. He pushed the driver out of the van and continued to lead officers on the chase along Kirkwood.
